Brake Fluid Service in Bloomington, IN
Have you recently noticed that your Mazda has a reduced ability to come to a complete stop on time? Then it may be time to halt your Bloomington adventures so that you can come to Royal South Mazda for a brake fluid replacement! For more information, continue reading the synopsis below.
Brake Fluid Purpose
Within your vehicle’s systems, you’ll find a configuration of hydraulics. This is designed so that you can promptly deliver the force applied by your foot on the brake pedal to the brake pads, which then grind against the rotor to bring the wheels to an eventual stop. The liquid used in this process is known as brake fluid, and this is not its only purpose. For instance, it has been designed to absorb moisture, which helps to avoid potential corrosion on important parts. While it is quite hardy and is built to withstand extreme temperatures, it will eventually need to be replaced with a fresh supply.
Service
In most cases, we generally suggest that you have your brake fluid exchanged once every 30,000 miles, or every two years. This can vary from one vehicle to another, so you will want to consult your Owner’s Manual for more specific details. When you stop by our Service Department, our team will start this process by looking over all the parts responsible for the braking process, including the calipers, brake pads, rotors, and more. If it is determined to be an issue with the brake fluid, such as crystallization due to oxygenation or a leak, then our team will promptly get to work on amending these problems. That way, you are able to return to making trips to Switchyard Park without worry.
Warning Signs
The next time you find yourself riding across I-69, we recommend keeping a close eye on how your CX-5, CX-50, or Miata comes to a halt. For instance, if you feel that the brake pedal feels spongy when pressed on, then this may be a sign that your brake fluid is no longer efficiently transferring force. This will likely be followed up by it taking longer to bring your vehicle to a complete stop as well. Be sure to keep an eye on your brake warning light, as this will illuminate when something has gone awry. Once you notice these issues manifesting, schedule a service appointment with us at your earliest convenience!
How Often Should You Change Your Brake Fluid?
- You should change your brake fluid one every two years, or 30,000 miles. See your Owner's Manual for more specific details.

“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”

“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”
